Ithaca was originally released April 25 on CD format by Metal on Metal Records. Digital review copies of the album are available upon request.

The vinyl LP will be released September 19 on Cruz Del Sur Music. Mastered specifically for vinyl format, the release will include two exclusive 2010, live bonus tracks that were specifically chosen by the band for their quality and uniqueness. The first is a version of band's own classic "War Tears."  This version of the track is sung in Italian, making the interpretation of singer Gianni Nepi  particularly passionate.  The second  is the long, touching piece "Deep Wake," another song that shows Dark Quarterer's incredible skills. In addition to over 70 minutes of stellar, progressive metal music, this deluxe DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD EDITION will also include a 4-page booklet with lyrics and a download card.

Ithaca is a concept album inspired by the 1911's poem of the same title by a Greek poet, Konstantinos P. Kavafis (Constantine P. Cavafy), who used  Odysseus's travel from the Trojan Wars back to his home-island as a metaphor for the journey of life; the goal is not important, but the journey itself. Stylistically, it's a mix of '80s epic heavy metal with '70s progressive rock, and some elements of doom.
